Chapter 294

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Suns took the lead, firing frequently from the outside, and there was a feeling of momentum.

Although Nash couldn't increase his speed, he played calmly against the double attack of Jason Williams and Battier in the diamond tactic, and easily lost ammunition for Richardson.

Richardson, who was sleepwalking in the first half, found his shooting touch.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, the ball is caught in the frame, and there is no extra movement for half a point. Pull up a direct three-point jumper and shoot, hit the bull's-eye steadily, and go through the heart into the net.

And it was still a continuous three-pointer. After receiving a pass from Nash, he adjusted it outside the three-point line and lifted the ball to the sky. As a result, Battier didn't follow Richardson's set at all, and his footsteps were tight. Following Richardson, when Richardson thought he was cheating Battier, he took a step sideways, bent his knees and jumped up to make a three-point shot, Battier flew out from the side, with a big hand, overwhelming to cover Richardson's face.

Swish! !

Richardson's touch is online, he is not afraid of Battier's classic blindfolding method, and his shooting rhythm is not disturbed.

In addition to Richardson's explosion, Joe Johnson on the right also singled out Mike Miller and scored two points.

First put on an offensive three-threat posture, take a step and then feint a shot, speed up to break through the three-point line, step down to return the ball while walking, shoot the basketball from the right side to the left side, look up at the backboard, and make a bow fake work.

False shot is really sudden, after deceiving Mike Miller's defensive center of gravity, he immediately changed direction and accelerated, breaking through to the inside.

Pulling the ball up, he stepped up from the basket and took off, ignoring Gasol's hand interference, and faintly scored the basketball, scoring two points.

With the offensive firepower of the two muskets on both sides of the Suns, the Suns' inside offense has become much easier!

Nash showed off his good skills, dribbled the ball to the front court, without a half-point pause, directly broke through Jason Williams with the ball in the middle, changed direction and hit the free throw line one step, immediately drew the bow and arrow, and opened his hand to hit the Cavaliers A small throw for archery.

Swish! !

Nash's small throw has been polished to perfection, and he accurately threw the basketball to the target and scored two points.

Jason Williams' defensive ability is really poor, and it can be said that he is on par with Nash. How can he stop Nash's offense.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns beat the Grizzlies to a 10-2 spurt, which directly sent the Grizzlies to a timeout.

The Grizzlies did not change their defensive strategy because of the recovery of the Suns' outside firepower. They called a timeout, just wanting to interrupt the Suns' offensive rhythm and momentum.

Sure enough, as soon as the timeout came back, the Suns' offensive firepower went silent.

Battier is no longer emptying Richardson, staring at the other side, not giving an inch.

Richardson's three-pointers were no longer directly stifled, and he missed consecutive shots from the middle, and his touch was lost again.

Joe Johnson was not much better, as if in the opening stage, it was actually a flashback.

Seeing that the two shots of the Suns' outside firepower were frozen again, Nash could only fight the inside with his scalp, hoping that the Suns' inside offense could open up the situation.

Unexpectedly, the Suns' inside offense played poorly without the support of outside offensive firepower.

Stoudemire's mid-range shooting touch was not found, and he rushed to the inside. Facing the tall and long-armed Gasol, he played very hard and was not flattering.

Stoudemire, who has almost no back-up and low-post attacks, showed his offensive weaknesses vividly. He couldn't break through Gasol's defense line at all. He only scored a 5-for-1 hit. The impact was not enough, and he didn't draw a foul at all. , to the free throw line.

Stoudemire was poor, and Marion's offense was even worse.

Under Posey's targeting, his mid-range shot didn't have a hit rate either. He made a 7-for-1 hit directly, and only got a missed layup and scored two points with an empty cut without the ball.

Nash can only come by himself, but Jason Williams is mentally prepared to defend.

Nash's housekeeping skills, three-pointers, sudden shots and two-pointers, emergency stop jumpers, also frequently popped out of the frame, and the offensive firepower was directly interrupted.

In the third quarter, only 21 points were scored, and the offensive firepower was very dim, without any improvement.

On the other hand, although the Grizzlies didn't start well in the third quarter, their offensive strategy was very targeted.

Jason Williams did not force the shot, but gave the ball inside with a lob.

After Gasol received the ball, he put on an offensive threat posture.

Can attack, pass, and shoot!
Although Stoudemire's footsteps are very fast, he still can't stop Gasol from scoring.

With his height and long arms, he can face up to Stoudemire's defense with a flick of the ball, and directly shoot a two-pointer.

His shooting touch is very soft, and Stoudemire's defense has nothing to do with Gasol.

Even if Stoudemire defends Gasol closely and uses his strong physique to bully Gasol.

However, this trick is not easy to use, Gasol can support the organization pass.

In Lin Bai's previous life, he transferred to the Lakers to assist Kobe. In Jackson's triangle offensive tactics, he played the role of the pivot.

It is conceivable that his organizational skills are not bad. With one point, the Grizzlies can hit the Suns' basket.

After all, only Stoudemire can complete the frame protection of the Suns, and the quality is not good enough because of his height.

Gasol attracted Stoudemire's defense, and even said that after evacuating the inside of the Suns, Battier, Posey, and even Jason Williams could keep hitting the basket.

Not to mention, Gasol still has good post-up singles ability, and the Grizzlies' offensive scoring account has also begun to slowly open up.

With Gasol's stable scoring point inside, the Grizzlies are still not satisfied. They also replaced Bunch Wells on the field, and cooperated with Jason Williams in the pick-and-roll, allowing Bunch Wells to frequently use it on the outside. Back-up singles, strong strength to crush Nash to fight, it can almost be said that there is no solution, and it has been tried and tested.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies still dominated the Suns in offensive scoring, scoring 23 points in a single quarter.

70 to 63! !
Unknowingly, the Memphis Grizzlies have established a 7-point lead, pressing down on the Suns every quarter, widening the gap bit by bit.

The fourth quarter started, and the Suns' offensive firepower still has not been opened.

Marion continued his poor state in the third quarter, shooting 3 for 0 and scoring no points.

Richardson also didn't feel the three-pointer, but he hit a two-pointer, which was just a drop in the bucket.

Joe Johnson and Stoudemire's offense, one outside and one inside, has improved a lot, but they still can't drive the overall offensive firepower of the Suns.

Nash made a good pass all night, but his teammates felt cold, and he couldn't do anything about it.

The Grizzlies took the lead, insisted on the offensive tactics of facing three quarters, played steadily, continued to defend desperately on the defensive end, dragged the Suns into a positional battle, and directly grinded their opponents to death.

During the offense, Gasol and Bunchwells took turns playing singles while passing the ball, and other players assisted in making up the knife.

As a result, the Grizzlies still dominated the Suns offensively. In the fourth quarter, they scored 22 to 17, widening the gap between the two sides to more than 10 points.

As a result of the game, the Memphis Grizzlies turned away and defeated the Phoenix Suns with a lead of 92 to 79 and 12 points. They limited the opponent's full-court score to below 80, the lowest score of the season, and gave the Suns a The longest 4-game losing streak!
